ARMORED, FLAT, ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR.

Application filed December 14, 1911.

7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN KALLMANN, a subject of the German Emperor,and residing at Charlottenburg near Berlin, Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Armored, Flat, ElectricalConductors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates .to armored fiat electrical conductors.

The invention contemplates the use of a resilient metallic tape and aninsulated conductor applied thereto in any suitable manner. Means forspacing the tape from the wall or the like are applied on the oppositeside to that on which the conductor is located. It the conductor be notindependently insulated it may be embedded in a coating of insulatingmaterial applied to the metallic tape. In connecting the conductor andthe tape, wire clips extending around both elements may be employed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a view of the device in transverse section;Fi 2 is a plan view looking from the lower side of Fig. 1.

It will be observed that I have illustrated a steel tape 10 which mav beprovided with small perforations 11 near its .edges for theilCCOIflll'lOtliltlOll of the "fastening devices referred to below.

The copper conductor is indicated by 12,.

Serial No. 665,689.

which it is secured by insulating spacing members 17, and wire clips 18extend transversely for holding the parts securely together.

While I have described specific means for carrying my invention intoeffect, I do not desire to be limited to all of the details ofconstruction mentioned, but may make such changes or alterations asfall' within the scope of the appended claims.

'hat I claim is:

1. A device of the class described comprising a resilient metallic striphaving applied thereto a coating of adhesive material constituting anon-conductor, and a conductor embedded in the coating and insulatedthereby from the strip.

9.. A device of the class described comprising a flexible strip havingapplied thereto a coating of adhesive material, and a conductor embeddedin the coating and insulated thereby from the strip, spacing means onthe opposite side of the conductor, and a securing device extendingabout said elements and transversely of the strip.

3. A device of the class described comprising a resilient metallic striphaving applied thereto a coating of insulating material, a conductorembedded in the coating, and'means bent about the conductor at intervalsfor mechanically securing the latter to the strip.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in the presence oftwowitnesses.

MARTIN KALLMANN.
